EU iGaming week: machine game tax, Flutter job cuts

In the UK, Labour MPs pressed for higher taxes on machine games. The debate raises a new tension over the sector's revenue structure and the share the state should take from this area.

Meanwhile, around 1,400 people could lose their jobs in Flutter's UK and Ireland operations. The company's cost pressures and restructuring plans show how quickly workforce decisions are being made in the sector.

The report also touches on the companies' third-quarter financial results. These results offer a sense of the overall state of Europe's iGaming market.

When tax rules and employment decisions are considered together, Europe's online gaming sector appears to be going through an important period on both the regulatory and cost sides. How these issues develop in the coming weeks will be followed closely.
